What's left behind the scenes
- Rowan Atkinson was initially considered for the role of Lee Evans. However, he declined to participate in the film due to the small fee offered.
- The mahjong scene was suggested for inclusion in the film by Claire Forlani.
- Most of the scenes filmed abroad were shot in Dublin and County Wicklow. Scenes of Irish forests, the Dublin port, the castle interior, and the giant cave were filmed in Thailand, as were most of the interior scenes.
- Initially, the film was titled “Highbinders,” and its release was scheduled for May 2002, then February, and subsequently October 2003. Ultimately, Sony decided that August 22nd was the most suitable premiere date. Production was delayed due to a decision to film several additional scenes geared towards an American audience.

- It took 4 months to build the sets in Thailand. 250 Thai workers, with a small number of English personnel, had to build the castle interior, which was constructed in a closed stadium. They were also forced to build a giant cave, which was built in a massive warehouse, and an Irish estate, which was built in a fully equipped studio.
